Application Information
SSC2001S Power Factor Correction
Continuous Conduction Mode Controller
General Description
The SSC2001S is a continuous conduction mode (CCM)
control IC for power factor correction (PFC). The IC allows
the realization of high-power output, high-efficiency, and
power management systems which require few external
components by the average current control system.
Features and Benefits
• Continuous conduction mode (CCM) system: low peak
current and suitability for high power applications
• Average current control system: no multiplier and few
external components allows simple circuit configuration
because no input voltage detection required
• PWM and frequency modulation functions: PWM
operation frequency fixed at 65 kHz (typ) with
superimposed variable frequency according to duty cycle
• Maximum duty cycle 94% (typ)
• Error amplifier reference voltage 3.5 V (typ)
• Built-in high speed load response (HSR) function
• Brown-in/brown-out protection function: protects the
power supply at low input voltages
• Protection functions:
▫ Output overvoltage protection (OVP): turns off gate
output on pulse-by-pulse basis, with auto restart
▫ Overcurrent protection (OCP): two types, both with
auto restart:
– VIS(OCPL) : limits power by reducing duty cycle of next
cycle after detection
– VIS(OCPH) : turns off gate output on pulse-by-pulse
basis
▫ Open loop detection (OLD) on output: stops oscillation,
and the operation switches to standby mode; auto restart
after removal of cause of open loop
Figure 1. SSC2001S packages are industry-standard SOP8 surface
mount.

Startup Operation
Figure 1 shows the VCC pin peripheral circuit. The VCC pin is
the control circuit power supply input to supply voltage from the
external power supply.
The control voltage range of the VCC pin is wide: from VCC(OFF)
of 11.1 V (max) to the maximum rating of 30 V (max). This
permits a very wide value range for the external power supply
voltage.

When VCC drops to the operation stop voltage, VCC(OFF) , of
10.3 V (typ), the control circuit stops operation by the UVLO

When the distance between the IC and the electrolytic capacitor

Soft Start Function
When the input voltage meets the power supply startup conditions (refer to the Startup Operation section) and the VCC pin
voltage reaches the VCC(ON) voltage, the power supply enters soft
start operation.
The continuity of inductor current depends on the value of
inductance. During light loads, the operation is in DCM, but the
requirement of the class D of IEC1000-3-2 for harmonic currents
can be met.
During soft start, the VCOMP pin is charged by the error amplifier maximum source current IVCOMP(SO) = –30 μA (typ) until the
VFB pin voltage becomes approximately 3 V, which is approximately 85% of output voltage setting, and then power is gradually
increased to reduce the stress on component parts.
By means of CCM in the operation of the IC series, the usual
requirement for a multiplier to transform the input current into a
sinusoidal waveform, as well as the related components for the
detection of the input voltage, are no more required. This results
in a reduction of external parts and simple circuit configurations.
Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) Operation
When the inductor current of the PFC circuit is in a continuous
state, continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation is occurring.
In CCM, the peak inductor current becomes low compared to the
peak during discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), at the same
output power (refer to figures 3 and 4). This allows a reduction in
the rated current of the boosting power MOSFET and a decrease
of loss to RDS(ON) . This characteristic is suitable for high output power.
For the off duty cycle, DOFF , of the booster system, the input
voltage, VIN , and the output voltage, VOUT , have the relationship
of DOFF = VIN / VOUT and so the off-time is proportional to VIN .
The IC generates a sinusoidal waveform for input current and
constant output voltage, by means of duty cycle control, which
combines current control and voltage control.

When VOUT decreases due to increased load, the VCOMP pin
voltage is increased, making the slope of the ramp waveform
steeper, and the output power is increased by raising the duty
cycle.
Current Control (PFC Control)
Figure 5 shows a typical peripheral circuit for the IC. The inductor current, IL , is detected at the detection resistor, R1, and input
into the IS pin to be averaged at capacitor C3 (on the ICOMP pin)
via the current amplifier in the IC so that the ICOMP pin voltage
is produced in proportion to the inductor average current.
In order to boost the input voltage at the AC mains frequency,
voltage control is generally activated in response to 20 Hz or
lower against AC mains frequency.
As shown in figure 6, the input current is controlled to be sinusoidal by comparing the ICOMP pin voltage with the waveform of a
ramp generator in the IC. In standby mode or at the operation of a
protection circuit, the ICOMP pin voltage is clamped at 4 V (typ)
in the IC.
The reference value of R6 is several hundred kilohms to several
megohms. Because of high voltage applied and high resistance
value, it is recommended to select a resistor designed against
electromigration or use a combination of resistors for that.
The C3 value has a filtering effect on the switching frequency and
the ripple voltage of the inductor current. IL . The time constant
should be set so as to be subjected to the AC mains frequency.

The reference value of C3 is from 1 to 22 nF, and it should be
adjusted so that the AC input current becomes sinusoidal, while
varying loads in actual operation in the application.

Voltage Control (Output Constant Voltage Control)
The VFB pin voltage, which is the value of the output voltage,
VOUT , divided by R6 and R7 in figure 5, is compared to the reference voltage, VFB(REF) = 3.5 V (typ) by the error amplifier in the
IC. This result is output to the VCOMP pin. The VCOMP pin
voltage, which is added compensation values by C5, C6, and R5,
adjusts the slope of the ramp waveform shown in figure 6, so that
VOUT is controlled constant.

The reference value of C7 is from 0.047 to 0.1 μF for high
frequency noise reduction. The reference value of C5 is from
0.047 to 0.47 μF, that of C6 is 0.47 to 10 μF, and that of R5 is
10 to 47 kΩ. The values should be adjusted under actual operation in the application in order to decrease ripple on the output
voltage, VOUT , waveform.
High Speed Load Response (HSR)
Because the AC mains input voltage and frequency are used
for the PFC of the boost system, voltage control is activated in
response to low mains frequency, and as a result the dynamic
load response is slow and a decrease of output voltage, VOUT , is
likely to occur. In order to suppress the variation in VOUT at the
time of dynamic load conditions, the high speed load response
function (HSR) is built in to the IC.
As shown in figure 7, the high speed load response function
(HSR) is enabled when the VFB pin voltage exceeds the high
speed load response operation enabling voltage, VFB(HSR)ENABLE
= 3.4 V (typ). Later, when VOUT decreases due to dynamic load
response below the high speed load response operation start
voltage, VFB(HSR)ACTIVE = 3.325 V (typ), the HSR becomes active
and the VCOMP pin is charged by the high speed load response
source current IVCOMP(SOHSR) = –100 μA (typ) until the VFB pin
voltage increases to VFB(HSR)ACTIVE. This increases the output
power and suppresses the decrease of VOUT . VFB(HSR)ACTIVE =
3.325 V (typ) is 95% of the error amplifier reference voltage
VFB(REF) = 3.5 V (typ) set by the output voltage, VOUT .
Frequency Modulation
The built-in frequency modulation function references an internally generated fixed operation frequency, fOSC = 65 kHz (typ).
It superimposes a variable frequency which modulates at a rate
based on the output duty cycle.
The modulation frequency is low when the duty cycle is large
(input voltage is low), and the modulation frequency is high
when the duty cycle is small (input voltage is high). The second
harmonic frequency after modulation keeps less than 150 kHz.
Gate Drive
The peak source current /peak sink current of the GATE pin are
set at –0.5 A (typ) / 1.0 A (typ), and the low voltage /high voltage
are set at 0.4 V (max) / 10.5 V (typ) for directly driving the power
MOSFET.
Peripheral component values of the GATE pin in figure 8 are
affected by the printed circuit board trace layout and the power
MOSFET capacitance, which should be adjusted under actual
operation of the application.
R8 is adjusted to decrease ringing of GATE pin voltage and
EMI noise. The reference value of R8 is several ohms to several
dozen ohms.
R9 is used to prevent malfunctions due to steep dv / dt at turn-off
of the power MOSFET, and the resistor is connected near the
MOSFET, between the gate and source. The reference value of
R9 is from 10 to 100 kΩ.

Protection Functions
Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
As shown in figure 9, the inductor current, IL , is detected at the
detection resistor R1 and input into the current amplifier in the
IC via the IS pin. The overcurrent protection operation (OCP) has
the following two states:
Brown-In / Brown-Out
The brown-in/brown-out function prevents switching operation
while input voltage is low. This protects against exceeding input
current ratings and overheating the IC and the power supply.
1. IS pin overcurrent protection (low), VIS(OCPL)
As shown in figure 1, the VINS pin voltage is the value of the
input voltage VIN divided by R3 and R4. When the VINS pin
voltage is at the input undervoltage protection high threshold
voltage, VINS(H) =1.0V (typ), or more, the control circuit is
allowed to operate. When the VINS pin voltage is at the input
undervoltage protection low threshold voltage, VINS(L) = 0.55 V
(typ), or less, the control circuit stops switching oscillation, and
the IC enters standby mode.
This is the first level of OCP. When the IS pin voltage is at
the overcurrent protection low threshold voltage, VIS(OCPL) =
–0.5 V (typ), or less, the duty cycle is reduced at the next cycle to
restrict the input power.
The value of detection resistor R1 is adjusted in a manner that
the IS pin does not go below VIS(OCPL) at the lower limit of input
voltage and peak load. The value of R2 is 220 Ω resistance, to
maintain the IS pin current within ±1 mA during surges such as
in-rush current. DZ1 is 4.7 V Zener diode connected for protection against any overvoltage applied.
R3 is usually several megohms. Because of high voltage applied
and high resistance value, it is recommended to select a resistor
designed against electromigration or a combination of resistors
for that. C4 is used to decrease the ripple on the detected voltage and to set the delay time, and the reference value is from
0.047 to 1 μF.
2. IS pin overcurrent protection (high), VIS(OCPH)
If using remote on/off control of the PFC function, to remotely
implement the off state, the voltage at the VINS pin should
be VINS(L) or less. It should be noted that during the previous
remote-off control, power consumption occurs by ICC(STANDBY)
= 4 mA (typ). In order to minimize power consumption during
remote-off, the following methods are recommended: to turn off
the external power supply on the VCC pin, or turn off an external
switch inserted on power source line to the VCC pin.
VAC
This is the second level of OCP. When the IS pin voltage is at
the overcurrent protection high threshold voltage, VIS(OCPH) =
–0.75 V (typ), or less, the gate output is turned off using pulseby-pulse basis. When the cause of the overcurrent is removed, the
IC returns to normal operation automatically.
In order to prevent malfunction due to noise, a leading edge
blanking period of 300 ns is built in.

Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
When the VFB pin voltage exceeds the output overvoltage
protection threshold voltage, VFB(OVP) = 3.745 V (typ), the gate
output is turned off using pulse-by-pulse basis. When the cause
of the overvoltage is removed, the IC returns to normal operation
automatically. VFB(OVP) = 3.745 V (typ) is equivalent to 107% of
the error amplifier reference voltage VFB(REF) = 3.5 V (typ) for
output voltage VOUT setting.
Output Open Loop Detection (OLD)
As a protection against open loop of the output voltage, when the
VFB pin voltage is at the output open loop detection threshold
voltage, VFB(OLD) = 0.55V (typ), or less, the control circuit stops
switching oscillation, and the IC enters standby mode. VFB(OLD) =
0.55 V (typ) is equivalent to 16% of the error amplifier reference
voltage, VFB(REF) = 3.5 V (typ) for output voltage VOUT setting.
When the cause of the open loop is removed, the IC returns to
normal operation automatically.
When this protection function is activated, the VCOMP pin is
clamped to 1.03 V (typ) in the IC.

When the ripple voltage of C2 is expressed as peak-to-peak
VOUTRIPPLE, for example, 10 Vpp , the following equation is
obtained:
R1 is obtained from the IS pin overcurrent protection low

When the IS pin overcurrent protection high threshold is activated, the gate output is turned off using pulse-by-pulse basis.
The inductor must be designed to accommodate the power supply
operation at overcurrent levels.
3. Inductance value
The inductance can be calculated as:
|VIS(OCPH)|

When this voltage exceeds the output overvoltage protection
detection voltage (VOUT × 1. 07), or falls below the peak value of
the input voltage, boost operation is stopped and the input waveform may eventually be distorted. If the distortion is significant,
it is necessary to make CO larger or alter the output voltage setting value (boost voltage value).
6b. Output holding time
When the minimum input voltage of C2 at the output holding
time, tHOLD , is expressed as VOUT(min), the following equation is

Peripheral Components
Take care to use the proper rating and proper type of components.
For circuit symbols please refer to figure 13.
• The electrolytic capacitor C2 should have some margin for
ripple current/voltage and temperature rise. High ripple and low
impedance type parts for switch-mode power supplies should be
used.
• The inductor L1 should have some margin for temperature rise
due to core loss and copper loss.
• Because high frequency switching current flows across the current detection resistor R1, the use of a resistor with large internal
inductance may cause malfunctions. A resistor with small inductance and high surge tolerance should be used.
• The resistors such as R3 and R6, which have applied high
voltage and have high resistance values, should be selected from
resistors designed against electromigration or use a combination
of resistors for that.
• D2 is a bypass diode which protects D1 against overcurrents,
such as in-rush current. Therefore a diode with high surge tolerance is recommended.
• For D1, an ultra high speed diode with short reverse recovery
time, trr , is recommended to decrease noise and loss.
• With respect to the product lineup of rectifier and bypass
diodes, please contact our sales division.

PCB Trace Layout and Component Placement
PCB circuit trace design and component layout significantly
affect operation, EMI noise, and power dissipation. Therefore,
pay extra attention to these designs. In general, where high frequency current traces form a loop, as shown in figure 14, wide,
short traces, and small circuit loops are important to reduce line
impedance. In addition, earth ground traces affect radiated EMI
noise, and the same measures should be taken into account.
• The control circuit traces should not be placed in parallel with
the main circuit traces in order not to pick up crosstalk noise.
Switch-mode power supplies consist of current traces with high
frequency and high voltage, and thus trace design and component
layouts should be done to comply with all safety guidelines.
• Peripheral circuit components should be connected to the IC by
using the shortest traces possible.
• In order to minimize the common impedance of the control
ground circuit and main circuit ground, the GND pin (pin 1) trace
should be connected at the pin of R1 by a dedicated trace, using
the shortest trace possible. The R2 trace also should be connected
at the pin of R1 in a similar way.
Furthermore, because the incorporated power MOSFET has a
positive thermal coefficient of RDS(ON), consider it when preparing a thermal design.
• If the VCC pin and electrolytic capacitor C8 are distant from
each other, placing a capacitor (approximately 0.1 to 1.0 μF
film capacitor) close to the VCC pin and the GND pin is recommended.
Figure 13 shows a circuit layout design example.
• R9 must be connected to the gate pin and source pin of Q1.
